He seemed to be talking about my fears, my insecurity, and my unwillingness to see what was wonderful because tomorrow it might disappear and I might suffer. The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.

Only cowards hide behind silence.

Sometimes an unimportant incident is capable of turning everything beautiful into a moment of anxiety. We insist on seeing the mote in the eye and forget about the mountains, the fields and the olive groves.

Even if loving meant leaving, or solitude, or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price.

We must eat three meals a day, even if we're not hungry, and when we fail to fit the current ideal of beauty we must fast, even if we're starving.

At every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss.

Its best to live as if it were the first and last day of my life.
